Water State TALK + COMMUNITY INTERACTION with Alejandra Abad

Join Venezuelan artist Alejandra Abad during our upcoming MIX Happy Hour for an engaging talk about her past projects, process, and recent work where she explores belonging and mutual compassion as key parts of collective wellness. Abad’s current project, Water State, relates to sharing stories of refuge in Florida. Through outdoor digital projections Abad will bring the Everglades and our natural world into urban spaces.

During the talk, Abad will involve the audience through collecting stories related to belonging, feeling at home, immigration, and how natural spaces reactivate that sense of feeling at home. Community participation is important to lend this project strength and meaning. Have a story to share? Join us, all are welcome!

May 9, 2024, 6:30pm to 7:30pm – Artist Talk, Q+A, & Interactive Memory Gathering Session

Abad will provide a talk about her multidisciplinary process, her past and current projects, including her upcoming partnerships with the Museum, and will answer audience questions during a question-and-answer segment. During this session participants are invited to share their memories as a part of Water State. Free and open to the public!
